Overview
Key facts
On this BSc Occupational Therapy (Hons) course at the Queen Margaret University you will learn how to work with individuals, groups and communities to foster their participation in occupations that promote their health, wellbeing and social involvement.
Living, not existing – that’s a primary objective for the profession. This means that as an occupational therapist, you will give practical support to empower people, facilitate their health and well-being and help them overcome barriers to do the things that really matter to them. This course is your first step towards a rewarding health care career with excellent employment prospects.

Careers
Your degree will open doors to a rewarding and stimulating career in NHS Trusts, local authority social care departments, voluntary organisations, private practice or industry. Your work as an occupational therapist may not necessarily be in a medical setting, hospital or clinic.
Many of our graduates pursue the exciting variety of work opportunities in the community, which include working with the voluntary sector and in primary care.
